Plans Prepared For Conservation Work On Farms In Chowan Practices Are Expected To Increase Produc tion of Crops Soil and water conservation farm plans were prepared recently for Rob ert L. Byrum, J. Raleigh Peele, Char lie Peele, Ellie J. Goodwin, Mrs. W. L. Smith, Warner Bass, George Bunch, Robert P. Morris, Raye E. Boyce and for the Leary Bros.-.Lupton farm. These farm plans were set up for the purpose of setting out and scheduling the soil and water conser- ' - valtion work to be done on the indi vidual farms. Included in the plans are soil building and soil conserving, practices to assist farmers to increase, soil fertility and crop production. ! Land capability'maps constitute a, feature of each and every farm plan.j These capability maps of each indi-' vidual farm indicate the best use and treatment of each acre of land. *- It is through the land capability maps that farmers receive the tech nical assistance needed for putting t each parcel of land to its best use and for giving each acre its best con servation treatment. In view of the high production goals requested of farmers in 1952 it is increasingly important that each farmer give greater attention to prop- j *er land use and improved conservation ■ treatment. Closer application of con- 1 , servation farming methods, as out lined in the soil and water conser- i vataon farm plans, should help ma terially in the immediate demands for ■ greater production of food, feed, and fiber. Many farmers of Chowan County are finding that conservation; farming methods pay off in higher ■ yields of peanu s, cotton, corn and to bacco. The soil and water conservation farm plans will be delivered to the above-mentioned individuals as soon , as they have been typed and other wise completed. These farmers were assisted in the preparation of their farm plans by R. C. Jordan, Soil Con servationist of the Soil Conservation Service. A large number of applications for assistance in the development of soil and water conservation fawn plans are on .file in the Soil Conservation! Service office. These applications will be serviced as fast as time per-j mits. 'Presently, however, much ofj the Soil Conservationist’s time willj he consumed in assis infr cooperating farmers with the establishment of, practices. The season for application I of drainage practices is here and will, last until crop planting time, says j R. C. Jordan, Soil Conservationist.

Vegetables are generally grouped or classified in one of three ways: I—accordingl—according to botanical families, such as the lilly family which in cludes onions, garlic, leek and chives. 2 —according to the plant used for food, such as beets, carrots and par snips which are root crops. And, 3 according to the vegetable’s ability to withstand low temperature. This last grouping is probably of greatest importance to the average gardener because it concerns the sur vival and success of his crops. Ac cording to their ability to withstand j low temperatures, vegetables are clas sified as hardy, half-hardy and tender. The hardy vegetables are those , that will not be damaged by moderate ,to hard frost after they have been • planted. This group includes turnips, .spinach, garden peas, mustard, rad [ ishes, lettuce, cabbage, kale, onions ; and endive. The half-hardy vegetables are those which thrive in cool weather but are Artificial Breeding Gives Good Results i j • Does artificial breeding give good results ? A Union -County farmer, Bradley Reid of Route 3, Waxhaw, has an j answer to that question. . According to T. 'C. Blalock, dairy 'specialist for the State College Ex tension Service, Reid owns a grade Guernsey heifer that resulted from artificial breeding to the registered Guernsey bull Beechwood Ruler. I She was in turn bred artificially and freshened at exactly two years of age. In 305 days on twice daily | milking, she produced 8,350 pounds of milk and 377 pounds of butterfat. ‘•‘This is truly outstanding produc tion for a first calf heifer and rep resents almost twice the total amount of milk produced by the average cow in (North Carolina,” comments Bla loctf. , Another dairyman, Gordon Baker of Catawba County, has two Guernsey heifers from artificial breeding that recently freshened, both with he ; fer) calves. The first heifer to freshen, sired by Elmcrest Peter Grey, is pro i ducing more than 28 pounds of milk | a dav, while the other heifer, sired ■by Priscilla’s Fashion Duke, is av eraging more than 34 pounds of milk | per day.

This group includes beets, chard, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and celery. The tender vegetables are those that will not withstand any frost and will not grow at their best until the wea ther gets quite warm. This group includes, snap beans, lima beans, to matoes, peppers, eggplants, cucum bers, melons, squash, okra, New Zea land spinach and corn. There is some variation in hari ness within the groups and even be tween varieties of the same crop. The black valentine variety of snap bean is more hardy to cool temperatures than others, smooth seeded' garden peas may be planted earlier than wrinkled seeded varieties. Cucum bers will withstand cooler tempera tures than melons. Snap beans will withstand cooler soil temperatures than lima beans and, therefore, may be planted earlier. producing as much milk as their dams, and Baker is sure they’ll soon, be outmilking them. Specialist Blalock points out that it takes the same amount of time and money to raise a heifer from a poor bull as it does from a good one. He believes artificial breeding will do much to raise average milk production in the State from its present low level of 4,600 pounds per cow annually. Pvt.

The first eight weeks of the 16- week course covered basic military training necessary for all soldiers. This included weapons and combat training designed to enable the medi cal soldier to defend himself and his ) patients if the need should arise.
